A very interesting Mid Century Italian teapot marked on the bottom with the letter P "blossoming" over the work Italy.  Can't figure out one thing about the maker!  Any thoughts?  Thanks!!!!

Pagnossin.  The company has been around since 1919 and is a major influence in Italian tableware design.  I believe the logo dates from the 1970's onward.

Interesting thought I had Walter. Assuming this is a mass produced item from the 70's onward, shouldn't there be a slew of examples popping up on the internet?  I've been trying several different searches and have not seen one other one out there.  Might this be a 'special' production?

It is possible that this teapot had a limited run but usually it would be marked s such.  It is more likely that the design did not meet sales expectations and was discontinued quickly.
